Strange New Worlds Casts McCoy and Sulu

Production for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is complete but seems the final season may have some fun with the transition to TOS crew in the final episode. Veteran actor Thomas Jane (The Expanse) has been cast as Bones while rookie actor Kai Murakami will play Sulu. 

The extent of the roles were not specified but the series showrunner have said they had planned to end the series by handing the bridge off to Kirk so makes sense to include other members of the bridge crew. As for Chekov, he didn't join the series until season 2. They might figure out a way to include him or just not since continuity wise no reason to. No reason date yet for season 4 or 5 of the series.

Its A Wrap on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds

As of Friday, 12/19 around 11:15pm as reported by Anson Mount with a picture of his ready room desk covered in cloth, it was an official wrap on production for Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, ending the cast and crew's work on the show. Season 4 and season 5 don't have release dates. 

The cast may be assembled to do some additional voice over and promotional work but I also wouldn't be remotely surprised if its limited to just posts on social media and maybe one last full cast San Diego Comic-Con appearance depending if Paramount wants to pay for it which is not remotely guaranteed.

New Starfleet Academy Posters and Clip

It looks like the online marketing campaign for Starfleet Academy's January 15th premiere has begun. Paramount+ has revealed a poster that definitely leans into the teenagers in school vibe of the show with a poster that could have come from most later 1990s shows like Friends, One Tree Hill, etc. They followed it up with a four minute clip that provides an introduction to the new ship USS Athena, Holly Hunter's Captain Nahle Ake, and Paul Giamatti as Nus Braka who makes it clear he is there to chew the scenery (and probably having a ball while doing it).

Update: Added additional poster
